[PMID: 38912726 PMCID: PMC11223472 DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.4c03927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Despite extensive study, geochemical modeling often fails to accurately predict lead (Pb) immobilization in environmental samples. This study employs the Charge Distribution MUlti-SIte Complexation (CD-MUSIC) model, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate mechanisms of phosphate (PO4) induced Pb immobilization on metal (hydr)oxides. The results reveal that PO4 mainly enhances bidentate-adsorbed Pb on goethite via electrostatic synergy at low PO4 concentrations. At relatively low pH (below 5.5) and elevated PO4 concentrations, the formation of the monodentate-O-sharing Pb-PO4 ternary structure on goethite becomes important. Precipitation of hydropyromorphite (Pb5(PO4)3OH) occurs at high pH and high concentrations of Pb and PO4, with an optimized log Ksp value of -82.02. The adjustment of log Ksp compared to that in the bulk solution allows for quantification of the overall Pb-PO4 precipitation enhanced by goethite. The CD-MUSIC model parameters for both the bidentate Pb complex and the monodentate-O-sharing Pb-PO4 ternary complex were optimized. The modeling results and parameters are further validated and specified with XAFS analysis and DFT calculations. This study provides quantitative molecular-level insights into the contributions of electrostatic enhancement, ternary complexation, and precipitation to phosphate-induced Pb immobilization on oxides, which will be helpful in resolving controversies regarding Pb distribution in environmental samples.

Abstract
The bioaccumulation and toxicity of heavy metals are serious threats to human activities and ecological health. The exploitation of environmentally friendly passivated materials is major importance for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil. This research developed a new type of environmental functional material with a core-shell structure, which is an iron-based material functionalized with phosphorus and carbon from sludge for heavy metal pollution remediation. The results indicated that the C/P@Fe exhibits excellent heavy metal removal ability, and the maximum removal rates of the two heavy metals in simulated wastewater could reach 100% under optimum reaction conditions. It also effectively converts the labile Cr/Pb into the stable fraction after 28 days of incubation, which increased the maximum residual fraction percentage of Cr and Pb by 32.43% and 160% in soil. Further analysis found that the carbon layer wrapped around the iron base could improve the electron transport efficiency of reducing iron, phosphorus and ferrum could react with heavy metal ions to form stable minerals, such as FeCr2O4, FeO·Cr2O3, Pb5(PO4)3OH, PbCO3, 2PbCO3·Pb(OH)2 and PbS, after reacting with C/P@Fe. The study demonstrated that the Iron-based materials functionalized with carbon and phosphorus from sludge provided a more efficient way to remove heavy metals.

Rapid and convenient synthesis of "green" ammonium-modified chitosan composite sponge with the existence of ascorbic acid for highly efficient removal of Congo red (CR). Carbohydr Polym 2024; 324:121444. [PMID: 37985072 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a new green composite sponge made of chitosan and modified with ammonium ascorbate (ACS-CIT) was synthesized in just 10 min. Compared with CS-CIT (sponge prepared from acetic acid), ACS-CIT exhibits significantly enhanced adsorption performance for CR, with the saturated adsorption capacities increased from 353.667 to 1261.639 mg·g-1. The adsorption mechanism can be summarized as the generation of more hydrogen bonds, electrostatic attraction, and intra particle diffusion, revealing the addition of ascorbic acid introduced more hydroxyl groups, thereby enhancing the hydrogen bonding force, and the ammonium modification of chitosan improved the electrostatic attraction of the material, resulting in a significant increase in its adsorption capacity. Additionally, the prepared ACS-CIT showed excellent CR removal performance even in the presence of multiple interfering factors coexisting in the simulated wastewater, and the adsorption capacity remained stable after at least five cycles. Furthermore, the maximum bed capacity of ACS-CIT for CR is 1152.829 mg·g-1 under the given conditions of a flow rate of 1 mL·min-1, inlet concentration of 150 mg·L-1, a bed height of 1 cm respectively, and the breakthrough curve followed the Thomas model. The results indicated the eco-friendly and recyclable ACS-CIT is a promising adsorbent for CR dye removal in water.

Abstract
A novel Mg-based bimetal reagent (Mg/Cu) was used as an enhanced reductive system to degrade insensitive munition 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), a contaminant found in energetic-laden waste. Degradation of DNAN was significantly impacted by dissolved oxygen and studied in anoxic and oxic bimetal systems (i.e., purging with N2, air, or O2 gas). Degradation occurred through sequential nitroreduction: first one nitro group was reduced (ortho or para) to form short-lived intermediates 2-amino-4-nitroanisole or 4-amino-2-nitroanisole (2-ANAN or 4-ANAN), and then subsequent reduction of the other nitro group formed 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN). The nitro-amino intermediates demonstrated regioselective reduction in the ortho position to 2-ANAN; Regioselectivity was also impacted by the anoxic/oxic environment. Under O2-purging DNAN degradation rate was slightly enhanced, but most notably O2 significantly accelerated DAAN generation. DAAN also further degraded only in the oxygenated Mg/Cu system. Adsorption of DNAN byproducts to the reagent occurred regardless of anoxic/oxic condition, resulting in a partition of carbon mass between the adsorbed phase (27%-35%) and dissolved phase (59%-72%). Additional surface techniques were applied to investigate contaminant interaction with Cu. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations identified preferential adsorption structures for DNAN on Cu with binding through two O atoms of one or both nitro groups. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements determined the oxidation state of catalytic metal Cu and formation of a Cu-O-N bond during treatment. Laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) measurements also identified intermediate 2-ANAN adsorbed to the bimetal surface.

Abstract
Quartz sand (SiO2) is a prevalent filtration medium, boasting wide accessibility, superior stability, and cost-effectiveness. However, its utility is often curtailed by its sleek surface, limited active sites, and swift saturation of adsorption sites. This review outlines the prevalent strategies and agents for quartz sand surface modification and provides a comprehensive analysis of the various modification reagents and their operative mechanisms. It delves into the mechanism and utility of surface-modified quartz sand for adsorbing heavy metal ions (HMIs). It is found that the reported modifiers usually form connections with the surface of quartz sand through electrostatic forces, van der Waals forces, pore filling, chemical bonding, and/or molecular entanglement. The literature suggests that these modifications effectively address issues inherent to natural quartz sand, such as its low superficial coarseness, rapid adsorption site saturation, and limited adsorption capacity. Regrettably, comprehensive investigations into the particle size, regenerative capabilities, and application costs of surface-modified quartz sand and the critical factors for its wider adoption are lacking in most reports. The adsorption mechanisms indicate that surface-modified quartz sand primarily removes HMIs from aqueous solutions through surface complexation, ion exchange, and electrostatic and gravitational forces. However, these findings were derived under controlled laboratory conditions, and practical applications for treating real wastewater necessitate overcoming further laboratory-scale obstacles. Finally, this review outlines the limitations of partially surface modified quartz sand and suggests potential venues for future developments, providing a valuable reference for the advancement of cost-effective, HMI-absorbing, surface-modified quartz sand filter media.

Abstract
Higher chlorine (Cl) content than lead (Pb) content in municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA) impeded the practical application of Pb5(PO4)3Cl-derived magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) preparation strategy. Herein, Pb/Ca-rich lead slag (LS) was co-blended with MSWIFA to prepare MKPC for the synergistic treatment of both two solid wastes and the Pb-Cl solidification. The results showed that the resulting 15-15 (15 wt% MSWIFA and 15 wt% LS incorporation) sample achieved 25.44 MPa compressive strength, and Pb and Cl leaching toxicity was reduced by 99.18 % and 92.80 %, respectively. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses showed that Pb2+, Ca2+, phosphate and Cl- formed PbxCa5-x(PO4)3Cl in samples. The formation of PbxCa5-x(PO4)3Cl was also demonstrated by the high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF-STEM), while differences in the lattice characteristics of PbxCa5-x(PO4)3Cl and Pb5(PO4)3Cl were found. In-situ XRD indicated that Ca2+ accelerated the transformation of Pb2+ to Pb5(PO4)3Cl. After co-precipitating with Ca2+ to form PbxCa5-x(PO4)3Cl, Pb2+ continuously substituted Ca2+ to eventually transform to Pb5(PO4)3Cl. This work informs the synergistic treatment of MSWIFA and LS and offers new insights into the reaction mechanism between Pb2+, phosphate and Cl- under Ca2+ induction.

Abstract
A novel lactonic sophorolipid (LS) self-assembled nano-chlorapatite (LS-nClAP) was prepared for the immobilization of severe cadmium (Cd) in sediment. The experimental results indicated that the introduction of LS not only improved the dispersed performance of chlorapatite, but also brought massive hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, which significantly improved the immobilization efficiency of Cd and reduced its eco-toxicity in sediment. LS can significantly increase the effective utilization rate of phosphorus in chlorapatite, and reduce the content of available phosphorus (AP) by half after remediation compared with ClAP. Additionally, the participation of LS possessed a significant impact on the enzyme activities in the sediment, especially for urease, which was closely related to the effective stability of Cd and the introduction of LS. All experimental results of this study provided new insights into the possible effects of Cd immobilization by chlorapatite in contaminated sediments, demonstrating great application potential for sediment remediation in the future.

Abstract
An oxalate-doped hydroxyapatite (O-HAP) was hydrothermally synthesized for aqueous lead (Pb) removal based on the solubility-limiting ability of oxalate and phosphate over pH range 4-9. Free Pb2+ activities in oxalate and/or phosphate systems were controlled by oxalate to form soluble ion pairs Pb-Ox (aq) and Pb-Ox22- at pH 4-7 while in preference to persist as PbHPO4 (aq) when pH ≥ 8. Both phosphate and oxalate exhibited excellent efficiency in reducing Pb solubility, causing over 99 % of Pb precipitated from solution following oxalate < oxalate-phosphate < phosphate. The Visual MINTEQ model overestimated dissolved Pb and free Pb2+ in nearly all of the reaction systems due to the ill-defined stability constants and solubility products for Pb ion-pair formation. The addition of phosphate acting as a buffer in Pb-oxalate systems tended to lessen the spontaneous pH shifts within 24 h to equilibrate proton release from Pb precipitation and hydrolysis, indicating lower solubility products and faster kinetics of Pb-phosphate mineral formation. The TEM-EDS, FTIR and XRD identified a block-shaped Pb-oxalate mineral phase as the only precipitate at acidic pH while substituted by phosphate to form rod-shaped Pb5(PO4)3OH and Pb3(PO4)2 precipitates as pH increased. The optimum hydrothermal conditions of O-HAP were 433 K, pH 9 and P/Ox doping ratio of 0.5 for 24 h. Batch experiments revealed the endothermic process of O-HAP toward Pb with the maximum adsorption capacity reaching 2333 mg/g at a pH of 7, reaction time of 12 h, initial Pb concentration of 600 mg/L and temperature of 308 K, which were best fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm. The synergetic mechanisms of O-HAP for Pb removal involved dissolution-precipitation, adsorption and ion exchange. This study provides an insight in developing effective remediation strategies for heavy metal contamination by interacting between low-molecular-weight organic acids and secondary mineral phases.

Abstract
A highly efficient adsorbent functionalized with phosphate groups made from a local agricultural waste, ramie stalk, was designed for Zn2+ removal from water. SEM, EDS, FTIR, zeta potential, and XPS tests were used to study the morphology and properties of modified ramie stalk (RS-P). The results showed that the phosphate groups were successfully grafted to the surface of the ramie stalk, which has a multilayered and porous structure and can provide large adsorption sites. Adsorption performance and mechanism were investigated in the static and dynamic adsorption experiments. The adsorption kinetics of Zn2+ by RS-P were better fitted by the pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemical adsorption. Adsorption isotherm was better described by Redlich-Peterson isotherm, which suggested heterogeneous and multi-site adsorption, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 0.558 mmol g-1. The characterization of adsorbents before and after adsorption indicated that a combined action of electrostatic interaction and ion exchange was the primary mechanism of adsorption. Dynamic adsorption experiments with fixed-bed column displayed excellent water treatment capabilities. RS-P exhibited good reusability in 5 cycles without much deterioration in its adsorption performances. Complex co-existing ions impaired Zn2+ adsorption during real wastewater treatment. This research benefits agricultural waste recycling and provides safe water to ensure economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 854:158754. [PMID: 36113790 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Arsenate (As(V)) in municipal wastewater leads to a public health problem due to its contamination of natural water sources. Here, we proposed to use sewer pipe made of TiO2-doped cementitious composite (TCC) for As(V) removal from municipal wastewater. The optimum composition of TCC, the performance for As(V) removal in the simulated sewer system, and the molecular-level As(V) removal mechanisms were investigated. To obtain the optimum composition, variables were adjusted to maximize the As(V) removal using TCC. Results show that the TiO2 and water contents were the dominant factors. Simulated sewer pipes made of TCC removed As(V) from 100 μg/L to <10 μg/L, which performed better than plain cementitious composite. Moreover, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis indicates that both precipitation and adsorption contribute to the As(V) removal by TCC, while the adsorption is more significant with a lower As(V) concentration (i.e., 1 mg/L). This is the first study evaluating the feasibility to apply TCC for As(V) removal from sewer wastewater. The optimized composition, simulation results, and molecular-level mechanism gained from this study are useful to the future design of TCC for As(V) removal, especially for sewer systems.

Abstract
Fertile and uncontaminated soil with appropriate pH is crucial in terms of the agricultural sustainable development. Herein, a compound soil conditioner containing chitosan modified straw biochar (CBC), kitchen waste compost product-derived humic substance (HS), NPK compound fertiliser (NPK-CF) was prepared to simultaneously adjust acidic soil pH, improve fertility, and immobilize heavy metal. The results exhibited that the best Pb and NH4+ adsorption performance was obtained in CBC with chitosan:biochar of 1:5. Then, the acid soil pH was improved from 5.03 to 6.66 in the presence of CBC/HS (5:5) with 3% addition weight (the mass ratio of conditioner to soil). Meanwhile, compared with the control, the contents of organic matter, available nitrogen, and available phosphorus significantly increased by 52.4%, 92.6%, and 136.3%, respectively. Moreover, Pb was highly efficient immobilised by CBC, and the concentration of Pb in the soil was decreased by 55.2%. The optimal growth trend of ryegrass was obtained in the presence of 3% addition weight (the mass ratio of conditioner to soil) CBC/HS (CBC:HS = 5:5) combined with 60% of the recommended NPK-CF application weight, which was mainly contributed by the improvement of the soil microbial abundance and community structure diversity. The addition of CBC/HS could effectively reduce the addition of NPK-CF and contribute to simultaneous controlling nitrogen loss, releasing phosphorus, immobilising Pb, adjusting pH, improving soil quality and controlling nonpoint pollution.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrate that the leaching of heavy metals in unreliable waste forms causes serious environmental pollution and health concerns. Thus, research is focused on identifying an effective, safe strategy for disposing of metal-laden solid waste such as lead (Pb). This study evaluated the effect of anion replacement in the structure of pyromorphite (Pb10(PO4)6Cl2, a common mineral phase for Pb sequestering) on Pb stabilization. Phosphate (PO43-) at the tetrahedral pyromorphite site was simultaneously replaced by silicate (SiO44-) and sulphate (SO42-) in a controlled thermal treatment. The lattice expanded with the incorporation of additional SiO44- and SO42-. Furthermore, the unit cell parameters of the solid solutions evolved linearly with an increase in the substitution degree (x in Pb10(SiO4)x(SO4)x(PO4)(6-2x)Cl2). This research also demonstrated that Pb distributed into amorphous in a PO43--deficient matrix, while asisite (Pb7SiO8Cl2) was formed when the matrix was dominated by SiO44- and SO42-. The leaching results showed the isomorphous substitution in the target system rendered the products less durable towards acidic attack. Moreover, the fully isomorphous-substituted product (x = 3) showed more than two orders of magnitude lower leaching resistance than the PO43--rich phase (x = 0). The lattice expansion, resulting from the isomorphous substitution, suggested that a lower dissolution energy was required in a PO43--deficient matrix. The leaching kinetics pointed to a product with a lower apparent activation energy in the leaching process. The findings of this study provide unique insight into the design and optimization of waste forms for the immobilization of heavy metals.

Abstract
Fungi play significant roles in the geochemical processes of heavy metals in the environment. However, the interaction between heavy metals and fungi, especially at the cellular level, is quite complicated and remains unknown. This study explored the mutual interaction mechanism between Pb2+ and Trichoderma viride by combining batch experiments, spectroscopy, and in vitro approaches. Batch experiments revealed that Pb2+ had toxic effect on T. viride, originally causing the biomass of T. viride decreased from 1.3 g in the control group to 0 g in the presence of 200 mg/L Pb2+. The difference in biomass further led to varied pH, even decreasing from 5.7 at the outset to 3.4 due to the acid-production properties of T. viride. Moreover, structural deformation and damage of T. viride mycelium appeared when exposed to Pb2+, and were more evident at a higher dose of Pb2+ exposure. The growth curve exhibited that T. viride gradually adapted to Pb2+ exposure, which related to Pb2+ exposure concentration. Further, intracellular and extracellular secretions of T. viride changed with varying exposure concentrations of Pb2+, indicating that T. viride adapted differently to different concentrations of Pb2+, and MT participated in the detoxification of T. viride. SEM-EDX showed that T. viride could bio-adsorb and bioaccumulate more Pb2+ when exposed to more Pb2+, which was closely related to the content of P. And carbonyl, phosphate, and amino groups of T. viride participated in the Pb2+ biosorption onto T. viride, as evidenced by FT-IR and XPS. Meanwhile, the biomineralization and reduction of Pb2+ by T. viride were observed by XRD and XPS, which might be a possible factor for Pb2+ biosorption and bioaccumulation. CLSM showed that the bio-adsorbed and bioaccumulated Pb2+ were mainly distributed in the membrane of T. viride mycelium.

Abstract
Stabilization is the most important remediation mechanisms for sediment polluted heavy metals. However, little research has been done on the identification of microenvironmental response and internal correlation, as well as synergistic mechanisms during heavy metal remediation. This study aims to investigate the inner response mechanisms of microenvironment after the lead (Pb) are gradually stabilized in sediment. An eco-friendly amendment strategy which firstly used 100% biodegradable sophorolipids (SOP) to modify chlorapatite (ClAP) for the fabrication of SOP@nClAP was applied in this study. The stabilization efficiency of Pb was significantly improved by SOP@nClAP compared with ClAP. Most importantly, the high-throughput sequencing showed that the dominant species in the sediment changed with the stabilization of Pb. The decrease of Proteobacteria and increase of Firmicutes, especially the Sedimentibacter within the phylum Firmicute directly suggested that large amounts of Pb were stabilized. This research is not only devoted to stabilize Pb in sediment by eco-friendly amendment strategy, but also keep a watchful eye on microenvironment response mechanisms during the Pb stabilization in sediment. Therefore, this study lays a foundation for the future application of more heavy metal amendment strategies in the sediment environment and improves the possibility of large-scale site amendment.

Abstract
The PO4 3- widespread in urban sewages promotes eutrophication of water sources, with harmful effects to natural life and endanger human health. The removal of PO4 3- from urban sewage requires treatment at tertiary level, with high costs and low efficiency in most cases. Thus, a functionalization method for surface modification of kaolinite was proposed to improve the removal of PO4 3- from urban sewage. The kaolinite commercial did not remove PO4 3- from aqueous solution. However, the functionalized kaolinite (FK) was efficient, with a maximum removal capacity of 8.4 ± 0.1 mg PO4 3-/L, within less than 1 min of reaction. The removal of PO4 3- is associated with precipitation of pyromorphite, a mineral with low solubility (Ksp < 10-79,6). Finally, real urban sewage samples (raw and treated) were also tested for removal of PO4 3- using FK, confirming its effectiveness. The central aspects of this development are:•Functionalized kaolinite (FK), with Pb(II), for removal of PO4 3- from urban sewage was studied.•The FK was efficient for removal of up to 8.4 mg PO4 3-/L from aqueous solution, within a short reaction time.•The precipitation of pyromorphite was the mechanism responsible for removal of PO4 3- and FK efficiency have been confirmed for real urban sewage samples.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) contamination in environment has been identified as a threat to human health and ecosystems. In an effort to reduce the health and ecological risks associated with Pb mining wastes, a field study was conducted to stabilize Pb using phosphate (P)-enriched biosolid amendments in the contaminated mining wastes (average of 1004 mg Pb kg−1) located within the Jasper County Superfund Site, southwest Missouri. Experiments consisted of six biosolid amendment treatments, including Mizzou Doo compost (MD); Spent mushroom compost (SMC); Turkey litter compost (TLC); Composted chicken litter (CCL); Composted sewage sludge (CSS); and Triple superphosphate (TSP). Kentucky tall fescue seeds were planted following the treatments, and soil and plant samples were collected and analyzed 8–10 years post treatment. Results indicated that, in all cases, the biosolid treatments resulted in significant reductions in bioaccessible Pb (96.5 to 97.5%), leachable Pb (95.0 to 97.1%) and plant tissue Pb (45.5 to 90.1%) in the treated wastes, as compared with the control. The treatments had no significantly toxicological effect to soil microbial community. Analysis of the Pb fractionation revealed that the Pb risk reduction was accomplished by transforming labile Pb fractions to relatively stable species through the chemical stabilization reactions as induced by the treatments. The solid-phase microprobe analysis confirmed the formation of pyromorphite or pyromorphite-like minerals after the treatment. Among the six biosolid amendments examined, SMC and MD treatments were shown most effective in the context of Pb stabilization and risk reduction. This field study demonstrated that the treatment effectiveness of Pb stabilization and risk reduction in mining wastes by P-enriched biosolid amendments was long-term and environmental-sound, which could be potentially applied as a cost-effective remedial technology to restore contaminated mining site and safeguard human health and ecosystems from Pb contamination.

Abstract
As a commercial adsorbent, TiO2 shows a high adsorption capacity for lead (Pb(II)). However, the molecular structure of Pb(II) adsorption on TiO2 is still unknown. Meanwhile, as a widely used corrosion inhibitor, phosphate (PO4) is usually added into drinking water, and its influential mechanism on Pb(II) removal by TiO2 remains unknown. Here, the mechanisms of Pb(II) adsorption on TiO2 and the effect of PO4 were systematically investigated using a combination of spectroscopic analyses and surface complexation modeling. The adsorption structure of Pb(II) on TiO2 was revealed as a tridentate mononuclear configuration by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. In the presence of 0.1-5 mg/L PO4, Pb(II) was removed mainly by adsorption on TiO2 rather than precipitation. Ternary complexation between Pb(II) and PO4 on TiO2 surfaces was found based on EXAFS and in situ Fourier transform infrared characterizations. These complexation structures were used to build a surface complexation model to accurately simulate and predict Pb(II) removal under different conditions. This study provides essential information about the mechanisms of Pb(II) removal by TiO2 and develops a model to predict adsorption behaviors, especially in the presence of PO4.

Abstract
Ulansuhai nur is located in the cold and dry area of China, and the management of heavy metals in the sediments is related to water safety in the lower places of the Yellow River. Graphene oxide (GO) is modified to obtain magnetic graphene oxide (G-F) and chitosan grafted graphene oxide (G-N-C) materials, which are used to immobilize Cu in the sediments. The modified materials are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). G-F respectively reduces the concentration of Cu in the overlying and interstitial water by 61.5-66.3% and 22.4-47.1%, which is more effective than GO and G-N-C. Experiments are designed to determine the effect of phosphates concentration on immobilizing Cu in the sediments by modified materials. The results show that a low concentration of phosphates solution is beneficial to the immobilization of Cu in the sediments, and the capability of G-F to immobilize Cu is higher than that of GO and G-N-C. G-F presents a lower increase in organic phosphorus in the sediments than GO and G-N-C. In summary, the modified materials can immobilize Cu in the sediments, potentially reduce the water body eutrophication, and improve the lake ecological environment.
